I so wish i could attend, handliong armour would be a treat, as would a visit to Toms shop (i could use some pointers) but it is quite far from me.
I am sure you will all have a good time.

Mine are 20 ga and im quite happy with them, they overlap some so there is some added thickness there.

I am in the process of discussing the tooling and trying to reach a price both myself and the stamping co are happy with. So i have no idea as to price. So far it looks like the basic toolong is going to cost quite a bit more than the birka plate, but i believe this is due to the curve. I will try t...

Its great you took a stab at it Melee, funny about having to destroy it before anyone can see it. I have the same expierence often
Ultimatly it takes alot longer than 6 hours to make a decent sallet, Try again, try a great helm, its an easier project.

I should be selling fairly soon (i hope) 20 ga stainless lamellar plates, these are based of the Wisby plate, and are roughly 1x3.5 and are "D" shaped, they differ from the wisby plate in that they have a birka style ho...

Scrub the aluminum with a scotch-brite pad befor painting
The paint needs something to hold onto
Scotch-brite pads can be bought in an auto parts store, but they are basicly the same as the green scrubbie pads you can get in the grocery store
